Quilts for a Cause

My blog for posting what I am doing to assist those in need with quilts. It is my hope that those that read my postings and see my quilts will be led/compelled to reach out and help me to help those in need. My projects have included Hurricane Rita and Katrina victims, breast cancer patients, new moms, children, the homeless and prisoners.

HOUSE FOR SALE - WEST PHOENIX AREA

We're a little bit city and a whole lotta country and we are selling our little corner of the world for under $200,000, which is practically unheard of in this area for horse property. You read this right, horse property in the Phoenix area for under $200,000. We are asking $180,000 for our home and property.

You get horse property (you can keep up to 4 horses), while all the time having the amenities most people want from the city (sidewalks, driveways,soon to be 2 brand new daycare facilities within 1 mile of the house, grocery store, brand new Target & Ross stores, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Banks, etc. all within 3 miles of the house). Yet, you have the peacefulness of living in the country with the best neighbors anyone has ever had since Sheriff Taylor lived in Mayberry.

Front yard is grass with 2 mature shade trees (non-desert type trees). Carport holds 5 vehicles at the same time so you don't have to park in the street. Large RV gate and RV cement pad in the back yard. Block fence (6 foot tall). Back yard has an animal pen, large oval grassy area border by concrete curbing (plenty of room for the trampoline and swing set). Large above ground garden area with sprinkler system set on timer.

Mans dream of a work shop (16' x 20'), 2 story (has loft storage), gambrel roofed complete with indoor outdoor carpet, hot air roof vent, cabinets, storage, electric and telephone. Two large flourescent lights to keep you working after you enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

Water softener system (enclosed in a Rubbermaid Storage Center), hot water valve on the outside of the house, bug zapper, sun screens all around, security/motion lighting, white security front screen door, custom light fixture in front.

Step inside this beautifully kept 3 bedroom, 2 bath, over 1600 square foot manufactured home and you will immediately be drawn to the custom faux painted entertainment center that looks like it has been covered in rock and men...it will hold a 44" flat screen television. Small portable lights make the perfect lighting to watch television by in the evenings. Ceiling fans in all rooms, fresh semi-gloss colored walls (not a white wall to be found). Custom designed coat closet with large shelving spaces & adjustable coat rack.

The dining/family room has a bay window, built in china hutch with leading glass door inserts, telephone hook up, cable and computer hook ups. Could actually be walled off and make it another bedroom or private office.

Kitchen ladies...is unbelievable. Bay window sitting area for dining, bay window above kitchen sink for keeping a watchful eye on the little ones while they play in the back yard, or just lookig at the Estrella Mountains from the windows. Slide in, ceramic cook top, self-cleaning Maytag oven, a builting in 2 shelf Maytag microwave and a 3 rack Maytag whisper quiet dishwasher.
The sink has a pewter high necked faucet and sprayer. There are 2 pantries and an extra large appliance garage inside one of the pantries that hold lots of things. There are a total of 22 cabinets, 14 drawers and the 2 pantries. There is a nice ceramic tile edged kitchen island and 9 recessed lights in the ceiling for a brighter kitchen when it is dark outside.

Step inside the laundry room and you think you have gone to heaven. It has room for a stand up freezer and it has more cabinets. There are 2 cabinets above the washer and dryer with a hanger bar for clothes between them. On the opposite wall, there are 12 cabinets (6 top and 6 lower) with a counter that is over 7' in length. A great place for folding clothes or setting plants.
There is also a custom built-in shoe rack for placing shoes when you come in from the back yard.

The hall has custom covered wall socket plates and switch plates and a new 3 light fixture for more light. The closet has floor to ceiling shelves for lots of storage space.

The first bedroom is perfect for children with its bright dual Disney colored walls and angel print border. It has a custom shelf over the window for collectibles you don't want children to reach and also a rod for curtains. The wall plates and sockets are all custom designed covers and the closet has 4 sliding doors to access its large inside.

The second bedroom is smaller (currently being used as a craft room) and has custom designed closet shelfing, drawers and clothes racks. It looks out upon the backyard.

The bathroom has new hardware and custom designed and molded butterfly pull knobs, an over the toilet shelf that is anchored to the wall and has glass doors with butterflys on them as well as they cover the toilet seat.

The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, 2 long windows and cathedral ceilings. This is a huge master bedroom (currently houses a king sized 4 poster bed, 2 night stands, a 9 drawer chest, a 6 drawer chest, antique desk, cedar chest and curio cabinet) and you still have lots of room to move around in.

The master bath has double sinks, a large garden tub with 2 windows to bring light into the room and a large shower with dual molded seats. There is a tall storage cabinet as well as cabinets and drawers under the bathroom sinks.

The home is wired and plumbed for dual Master Cool swamp coolers but we have never gotten around to putting them in.

The area right now is all 1/3 - 1 acre manufactured home sites with horses. They will be building homes in the area soon. We have beautiful views of the Estrella Mountains, peaceful sunrises and sunsets and have never as much as had a leaf stolen off our trees, it is a great neighborhood and quiet. We receive city services (police, fire, EMS, trash and street sweeping), the water is via a private water company and the home is set-up on a septic system. Taxes are aprx. $1300 per year.

I haven't had an appraisel for a few years, but I am willing to be the home and land appraise for at least $160,000, which I feel is low, so you would need to come up with the rest of the money, because I am patient, feel God told me to ask for this much, so I can wait.

If you would like to see this home, know someone who might be interested, it is by appointment only and would need to be arranged through my realtor. NO AGENTS PLEASE!

NASCAR FANS...WE ARE LESS THAN 3 MILES FROM PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY!
